This is a blog about fly fishing for Carp. Well, kind of... I can’t catch Carp on the fly all year long so it’s also about fly fishing for anything that will take a fly. Mixed in are thoughts on fishing, thoughts on life, fly tying, some cool pictures, and a bit of humor here and there.

Late to the Dance But Still Lookin' for Love...

I'm late to the dance but I'm still looking for love. I entered a Carp photo contest at Tailwaters Fly Fishing Co. The contest ran all of July but I just entered. Its not to late to find love is it? I guess its kind of like going to a three hour dance and getting there with 10 minutes to go. Well I'm here and I'm looking for love! Please click on Carp Photo Contest and like my photo and write up. Thanks!

Thanks John, Erin, Ty, Brent, and Trevor. Totally unbiased and completely objective individual that I am I would say that my photo is the best. Hmmm...well okay, I like my photo a lot and there are a lot of other good ones too. Thanks again.

About Me

I am a lifelong Washington State resident. I have been a licensed real estate agent since 1971. I have had the privilege of being a teacher since 1973. I taught Marketing and was the DECA Advisor at Marysville-Pilchuck High School from 1975-2009. I also taught Principles of Marketing through Everett Com. College.
My wife, Katy, and I have been happily married since 1977. I am more madly in love today than I ever knew I could be. We enjoy the Pacific Northwest. We hike, kayak, and snowshoe. We also enjoy reading and writing, heck part of the time it rains here you know.
My earliest memory is fishing with my dad when I was four years old; fishing is in my blood. I fly fish avidly and release all my fish. I have caught many species of trout, four species of Pacific Salmon, Atlantic Salmon, Largemouth Bass, and Smallmouth Bass. My favorite species to fly fish for is Carp. Yes, Carp. They are smart, big, strong, wary, and in so many ways the world’s greatest sport fish.
I serve as the National Fly Fishing Director for the Carp Anglers Group. I am the Fly Fishing Editor for North American Carp Angler magazine and I write a column called The Last Cast.
